Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer says there is a quarterback in the draft that they are excited about but didn't name that QB.

Somebody's going to make a bigger deal of that than they should.

He added context later to say they like more than one quarterback in the top five, as well as several players at other positions.

I went to two of his concerts with the love of my life and had such a good time.  I don’t care much about his music, but everyone was so chill and it was really fun.  Also got hammered, so yeah.  Good times.

Agreed with that.  A studly top-15ish.  Then a very large second tier that goes to almost round 3 quantity wise/top-60.  Then a big tier drop.

I could see a R2 or R3 trade up.  I know they want to gain picks but it's a good draft to capitalize in the 2nd/3rd.

Excitement levels are split right now

Person makes me cringe with his "Talk about how....." "questions" .  He just wants quotes and doesn't care to ask thoughtful questions.

That seems to be the American way when it comes to journalism. 

It's rampant that side of the pond. It's always annoyed me (I have a Journalism degree).

I can't see a situation where we dont pick it up or extend him.

Man, Matt Rhule is looking rough these days. For the last few months he's had the consistent look of never sleeping.

I like what Fitterer has done so far pre-draft.

The Panthers have transformed from a team seemingly desperate for a top tier QB in the draft, to being one in control of their own destiny.  If "their guy" is gone by 8 it appears they'll be able to acquire some additional high draft picks.

TLDR: This draft is shaping up as a no lose situation for the Panthers.

Applicable to interest in Rashawn Slater:

Around the 29 minute mark:

Press: John Schneider (Seattle GM) was open about Seattle's preference for Cornerbacks with 32" arms. Is that a philosophy you'll bring here, and similarly, will you have a philosophy on arm length for offensive tackles? 

SF: As far as Corners, we change to what our coaches want, what they expect, we're not going to play with the exact type of corner we played with in Seattle, we look for different traits here. We adjust as a personnel staff to that. Obviously length is important, it does show up on tape, it's important for offensive linemen as well. It is a factor that we look at.
